Run – Airdrop – Sorry, you are not allowed to access this page.

Run – Airdrop – “Sorry, you are not allowed to access this page.”

I have the paid membership and tried to run the Airdrop plugin on my WordPress. I got this error across multiple browsers and Admin users and multiple sites.

On top of that, I did not ever receive an Activation code in my email when I signed up.

So I used the generic activation code found in the right side bar of a couple of pages.

Maybe the issue is I had the wrong code?

Hello,

Thank you for paying for membership, and sorry about that!

This is an issue that a few others had too, but I haven’t had the time to investigate why it is so.

Normally, on plugin activation, the plugin assigns the correct capabilities. But in some configurations this doesn’t work.

First, try to deactivate and re-activate the Airdrop extension. This may fix the issue.

If this doesn’t work, you can use any capability-editing plugin, to assign the following capabilities to the admin user:

publish_airdrops
edit_airdrops
edit_others_airdrops
delete_airdrops
delete_others_airdrops
read_private_airdrops
edit_airdrop
delete_airdrop
read_airdrop

A good plugin for editing capabilities is: https://wordpress.org/plugins/user-role-editor/

You can use it to edit the Administrator role and click on “Add Capability” to add the above capabilities. This will definitely fix the issue.

Let me know if you face any difficulties with this. And if you have any more questions about the plugins, please open a new thread.

with regards

P.S. The activation code is likely in your spam folder and yes, it is the same code you saw on the website. It lets the premium plugin extensions discover updates despite not being hosted on wordpress.org.
